The War of the Wenuses E-text prepared by David Starner, Edna Badalian, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The War of the Wenuses" by C. L. Graves and E. V. Lucas is a satirical science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The book explores a fantastical invasion of Earth by the inhabitants of Venus, who are depicted as beautiful yet dangerous women known as Wenuses. The story unfolds against the backdrop of early 20th-century societal norms and gender dynamics, weaving humor and critique into its narrative. The plot centers on the arrival of the Wenuses, who seek to conquer Earth and its male populace due to the changing climate on their planet and their dissatisfaction with their male counterparts—the Invisible Men of Wenus. The protagonist, Pozzuoli, narrates his experiences, which include the chaos that ensues as men, enchanted by the Wenuses’ beauty, rush to their doom under the mesmerizing effects of the Wenuses’ power. As women band together to combat the threat, the narrative satirizes gender relations by juxtaposing the female response with the hapless reactions of men, culminating in a struggle for dominance in which the Wenuses aim to reshape society according to their whims. The story culminates with the ultimate victory of the Wenuses, who escape back to their home, leaving behind a whimsical and chaotic London.
